#1 SICILY’S PIZZERIA & SUBS (SW Detroit)
Sicily’s Pizzeria takes the top spot! This neighborhood take-out joint in southwest Detroit has been serving up old-world taste for more than three decades.
I tried their Sicily pizza and was wowed! This pie has pepperoni, meatball, red onion and green pepper. The taste was vibrant, the crust was flavorful and the texture was incredible. This neighborhood spot has people stopping in from the UP for their pizza. And with good, cheesy reason!
Sicily's Pizzeria is currently mostly a take-out spot, but they're expanding.
A full sit-down restaurant is coming soon for folks who want to dig into their favorite pizza as soon as it comes out of the oven.
